Even doing your homework and using your knowledge, you have to be lucky to get those returns. I think people can go from spending 3 figures in cards to flip to spending 5 figures successfully but it's gonna take longer than that.

Not often, it was a combo of Luck + Good eBay saved searches + having connections through other collectors.
But ignore that and just focus on the UFC TC Super. I belong to UFC card forums on Facebook, and when a card shop in Australia posted that one of their customers hit it in a pack, I asked the shop owner if the seller is looking to sell, and if so, asked if he could connect me.
I got ahold of the guy and he wanted to hold on to it for a bit. 2 Months later he mentioned to me that he had a guy offer him $3k for it and wanted to see if I could do better. I immediately told him I'd pay him $6k if he shipped it to me that day. The guy was thrilled to make a whole lot on it, and I was pumped to turn an easy arbitrage situation in my favor.
That's the opportunity out there right now. It takes some expertise, some persistence, and a little luck... but those opportunities are still out there if you are looking.
